IHE eARELEss HUSBAND.

The home that is not model
home is a curiosity, whatever its
particular ruling defect may be.
II may be that il il cursed with a
husband and father who has no
consideration for wife or children
and in fact none for himself. He
may be chronic fault finder and
4 living magazine oftcmper which
everything that crosses his paths
serves as a lighted torch to
explode. lIo flies into passion
at everybody and everything but
himself. He permits that bad
trait OF human nature which
prompts a man TO lay the blame
on somebody else every time, to
assume complete mastery over
him. lie carelessly shuts the
door and pinches his fingers, and
then kicks the door down to pun
ish it; he burns his fingers rcck-
lcssly and sculds his wife because
the stove is hot. But he might
scold worse if il was cold; he
cannot find his collars, handlIer-
chiefs, collar button, sleeve but
tons or anything else-a man ney-
er can find anything-and he
storms around, nightly afraid
all tho time he will find what lie
is after, and have no excuse for
being angry. There is no logic
or sense in his actions or conclu-
sions, and not the slightest con
nccton between what he thinks
he is mad at and the object of his
rage. lie is like one Of the iusti-
ces Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, who missed 4 train
because he did not give himself
time enough to prepare for il.
It was the old chronic trouble
could not linl something. In
this case It was his trowsers. 1t
will be admitted the trowsers
were not at fault. But when he
came back from the depot he
took off his pqnts and tore them
into thousand pieces. It must
have been an entertaining and
ennobling light TO have seen a full
grown man standing in the mid
die of the floor, frothing at the
mouth, without any pantaloons
on, tearing his trowsers to pieces
because he did not reach the de-
pot on schedule time. The belief
that man il just i little bit lower
than the angels must be consider
ably disturbed by such an exhi-
bition.
A great deal Of the peeyishness
and disagreeablc fault finding and
tomfoolery in the home Is no
doubt the direct result of sheer
thoughtlessness. Men who arc
often considerate and naturally
kind forget themselves 10 the
family circle. They remind us oI
the absent minded professor. He
was one day walking down the
road, deeply engrossed in thought,
when lie ran against n COW.
Quickly removing his hat under
the impression that he had col
lided with a lady, he said: "Beg
your pardon, madam Seeing
bis mistake he replaced his hat,
and went on with his thought
and his walk. Pretty soon he did
run against lady, when the COW
episode flashed upon his mind,
and he exclaimed: "You here
again, you brute?'' To get
through this world without col
| lisiOns or to make the hest "a

MISS EsTELLE LAMKIN FOR THE
AFFIRMATIVE.


1t is difficult for us to arrive at
a conclusion as to which of these
subjects holds the greater power
over the mind of man. Perhaps,
after all, the peculiar spell which
each OF them exercises, is attribut-
able, III some part to extraneous
circumstauces-the frame of mind
we are in, our predictions. and
our capacity to comprehend the
one OF the other.
1t has been SAID that "true elo-
quence is in the subject, in the
occasion, in the man"
Oratory, like music, is of many
kinds. 70 my mind, however,
music carries with it a power over
tho feelings to which oratory in
its sublimest flights can never at
tain.
1t is true there are those who
have the wonderful attribute of
making the "worse appear the
better cause" and it is indeed a
wonderful power; but music on
the other hand, has power to steal
away the senses, to subdue the
obdurate heart, to nerve the SOL
dier's . arm to noble deeds OF dar-
ing, and, more than all, to watt
the unfettered soul away to blissful
realms of perennial life, and to
be the source Of greatest delight
Throughout the ceaseless ages of
eternity.
The history of the world, both
profane and sacred, furnishes
abundant proof Of each of these
propositions, and moreover, has.
in thousand different ways, re-
cognized their truth.
Has music power to steal away
the senses?
Who has not listened to the
soft, melodlous swell of the harp
or lutte as it broke upon the md
night air, and been en-
tranced and overcome by its an
gelic sweetness? Well did Shake
speare understand this phase of
the human mind, when his
imagination, true to life, created
the play of Romeo and Juliet. I"
Here by the influence of music
he makes Juliet forsake her child
hoods home, and fall, willing
victim, into her lovers arms.
Has music power to subdue the
obdurate heart?
The sacred historian tells
us, when King Saul was
in his bitterest mood, his
dark soul ranking with envy,
hatred and jealousy, the young
David, who was cunning musi-
cian,' was sent for, and by the
power of sweet music, charmed
away the unhappiness of the
king.
All history and romance teach
us that there is no more powerful
incentive to brave deeds in war
than music, and so well is this
understood, and so necsssarv az
adjunct is music considered to the
the soldier going into battle that
martial music is always invoked.

Their Emotional Criticism.
/ like She female criticism, observes a
writer in the San Francisco Chroat;'e. 1t IS
always honest and frank, utterly free
from any dread of disclosing ignorance,
and it is full of those new views that are
sometimes so valuable When a man
looks at play he always wants to be the
hero if the leading lady is handsome. III
there's any kissing going on, any hugging
or embracing, he wants to be the man en-
gagged in the business. But woman Will

felt that if she had got hold of that hand

Tho Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
time; and wonderful and delicate mechan-
isms are devised to enable them to do SO.
But the more delicate a chronometer Is
made, the more subject it becomes to de-
rangement, and unless it be kept al ways
perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness,
What wonder then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of Man-should require TO
be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is
the main-spring of this complex structure,
and on the impurities left in the blood by a
disordered liver, depend most of the ills
that flesh is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung -scrofula), is traceable to the
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney
diseases, skin diseases sick headache, heart
disease, dropsy, and long catalogue OF
grave maladies have their origin in tor
pid, or sluggish liver DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, by establishing a
healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as
cure and preventive of these diseases.

operator picked him up, and after
nursing him into good condition

A shepard dog chained to kennel IN the

sneaks up behind him and seizes him by

about to find out what's there, but the
crow holds on and goes around with the
tail to where the coveted bone is, snatches
it up aud yuns off with the swiftness OF a
